Chapter 464: Volume 10: Thunderous Movements and Winds Rising, - 1: Unexpected Joy
With the official document in hand, Komer’s lips curled into a faint smile, it seemed that the Kingdom of Nicosia could no longer sit still, and it was time to negotiate.
The situation in Leon seemed to exceed what anyone was willing to accept. Homer’s army had suffered a devastating defeat, and the influence of the Caucasus, which the kingdom had anticipated, seemed to vanish overnight from Leon. The region suddenly became an independent kingdom, with no one able to influence the Half-Beast Mob any longer—a scenario the Upper Echelons of the kingdom definitely did not wish to see.
While the weakening of Homer’s strength was indeed pleasing to the kingdom, the defeat of Homer’s regular army was equally frightening. And if this locust-like, unchecked mob continued to exist, the negative impact it would bring should not be underestimated.
This was undoubtedly a living stimulus and encouragement to the slaves of all races living at the bottom of the kingdom. Should such phenomena occur throughout Nicosia, the kingdom might reap the whirlwind from the unrest and uprising it had covertly supported with the Caucasus.
To those in the Upper Echelons of the kingdom, this subversion of the traditional ruling system could not be excessively indulged. Using it for a while was alright, but if they were left to grow and develop unchecked, that would not align with the kingdom’s interests.
In their eyes, the best outcome would be to endlessly entangle the Homer People in this turmoil. For neither party to achieve a decisive victory was in the kingdom’s interests. Unfortunately, such hopes did not materialize.
What puzzled Komer was that the official document did not specify which member of the Royal Family would visit the Caucasus, causing him to harbor doubts. Could it not be Hoffman? Then who could it be? Renta? Or Katya?
Thinking of Katya made Komer’s heart skip a beat; the scenes from Versailles, like water flowing past his eyes, constituted a journey worth reminiscing.
However, it seemed that the struggle among the higher echelons of the kingdom was not so tranquil. The most hopeful Royal Successors were all holding back, eager to ascend that position, and winning His Majesty the King’s favor seemed to have become the most important matter.
